Ask for Items to be Added to our Collection

New Book Alerts is a free online service that showcases the newest titles purchased by your local library. You can select to receive alerts via email and/or RSS feeds. If you see a new title that you are interested in, just click "check catalog" to place a hold on the item right away.

REQUEST PROCESS:

We check patron requests regularly and typically fill most that apply to our collection. If a request is purchased, we will automatically put the item on hold for you under your account. You can check your online account regularly to check the status of whether the item was added to the collection and placed on hold for you. If you request an e-book or e-audio format, the collection development coordinator will e-mail you letting you know if the item was added to our READS database. If a requested purchase has a publication date of more than 4 months from the current date, an automatic hold on the item is not guaranteed and you should check frequently for the addition of the item.

AND, FOR AUTHORS...

We appreciate your interest in adding your work to our collection. It is our goal to incorporate books and media into our collection that represent both local interest topics and local authors. For self-published books we require the submission of a preview copy for review by our collection development staff. Please let us know of any newspaper articles, reviews, or other promotional events or write-ups regarding your book. Upon review, the collection development coordinator will contact you regarding whether the book is a good fit for our collection and adheres to the guidelines in our collection development policy.
